KEY: N = data do not exist; P = preliminary; R =
revised.
a Air carrier aircraft are
those carrying passengers or cargo for hire under 14 CFR 121 and 14 CFR 135.
Beginning in 1990, the number of aircraft is the monthly average of the
number of aircraft reported in use for the last three months of the year.
Prior to 1990, it was the number of aircraft reported in use during December
of a given year.
b 1991-94 data revised to
reflect changes in adjustment for nonresponse bias with 1996 telephone survey
factors; 1995-97 data may not be comparable to 1994 and earlier years due to
changes in methodology. Includes air taxi aircraft.
c Prior to 1984, excludes most rural and smaller systems
funded via Sections 18 and 16(b)(2), Urban Mass Transportation Act of 1964,
as amended. Also prior to 1984, includes total vehicles owned and leased.
d Other includes aerial
tramway, automated guideway transit, cablecar, ferry boat, inclined plane,
monorail, and vanpool.
e Nonself-propelled vessels
include dry-cargo barges, tank barges, and railroad-car floats.
f Self-propelled vessels include dry-cargo and/or passenger,
offshore supply vessels, railroad-car ferries, tankers, and towboats.
g Recreational vessels that
are required to be numbered in accordance with Chapter 123 of Title 46 U.S.C.
h Included in single-unit
truck.
i All trucks.
j Data for Jan. 1, 1991-June 30, 1991 included
in 1990 figure.
NOTES
